Production Blog - Videos

Hi y'all! It's Rowyn back with another blog. Today we will start the editing portion of the videos! Since the Research and Planning blog, I've changed a lot of things. I've added more photos but that will all be explained in the next blog. But for the videos I added more to it! Today in class I helped my best friend Kylie who is in my media group with her commercial. She didn't know how to apply her song so I showed her how to by screen recording the song on Youtube and then applying the screen recording to IMovie by clicking the three dots and choosing the option "Audio Only". While looking at her commercial, I had major inspiration. Her commercial was like almost spilt into her life and then sports. This inspired me to make sections in my commercial where I would have one photo associate with a video. For one video on my commercial I used one photo to help give context for the video I put after. I was in Vermont so I put a picture of me boarding a plane to go there to give context to where I was in a clip of me jumping into a stream to show where I was. For another video I used my friend and I's photo at a Taylor Swift party. This helped give context for the video I put after with us singing a Taylor Swift song. For my volleyball videos I used a picture of me and my best friend Mia, who is also in my media group, at practice because we both love playing volleyball and we are very passionate about it! I think using the method of matching photos with the videos really makes it clean and organized. This cleans my brain because I don't like it when things are out of order or unorganized haha! Overall, I really enjoy making this commercial because I love looking back at my life and remembering how much fun it is and made me realize how many more memories I can make! See you guys soon for commercial finalizations!

Creative Critical Reflection - Final Task

 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?  Answer:       This product utilizes conventions in horror and thriller movies. We used camera angles, music, editing, and dialogue that are commonly used in movies like this. For example, this product has scenes that are close-ups which are used in horror films to show fear in characters or to show what may be happening to change the viewer's focus while watching. In this scene right here we used a close-up to show the killer show that the audience can feel how close the killer was to the main character without her knowing. Almost as a dramatic irony. When the characters don't know what may be going on but the audience does. Overall, the product was truly a thriller because of the amount of suspense it had. Each scene kept building up which is usually what horror/thriller films use. But it does challenge conventions because of costumes. In this scene h...

Music: Choosing Audios

 Hey y'all! Last addition to the editing portion of the final task! I was doing research on the music that was going to apply to the Final Task. I used many websites, but deciding to stick with what I knew would be the best, it needed to be found on YouTube. I searched for royalty free music and boy oh boy there were MANY to choose from. However, I was stuck between two sounds. One being a constant beat like a timer and the other having suspense in the sound as time went on. Although it was a tough decision to make between me and my group, my group members and I came agreed to choose the second one. The reasoning behind this choice, was simple. It fit the plot of our film and plot better. The first choice was a little to fast paced, meaning that it wouldn't have fit the video. It was also very loud, so it would be hard to both insert and hear non-diegetic sounds. On the other hand, the second one was quiet, but added that suspenseful aspect that I was looking for in the film. ...
